DM Alan lead Brian, Chris, David, Jack, Scott, & Victoria through the Game Day Adventure section this week--it was a blast.
This is DM Alan's first time behind the screen and so far he is doing great--sourced his own mini's, knew the rules, kept things moving and focused at a very difficult table. If week one is any indication, this may be an epic week!
Brian is playing Dopey the Gnome Druid and he is digging the new location--Comic Quest is near his home which makes it easy. The shop is also full of Magic players & Comic kids on Wednesday so there is some great interaction opportunities.
Scott is making the drive from Long Beach and playing Happy the Human Paladin. We meet before the session at the local Chipotle.
Victoria is a DotA playing friend of Scott's--I think. This was her first D&D Experience. She played Cat, an Elf Ranger and did well.
Jack is playing Bashful, an Elf Wizard who casts fireball. A lot.
I think he is happy with the level of Magic players in the shop & seems to be having some fun.
Chris is still having a blast playing Kaius, the Drow Rogue. He seems to be fitting right in even though his views on D20's vs Spin Dice is archaic at best.
Space was a little crowded at the table.
The shop has a soda machine, which stopped working about half way in--it was super hot this Wednesday, but the shop cranks the AC & it was actually a little cold at the end.
Brian is using his iPhone for his mini
The party does look much more heroic than the sound.
Negotiations with the NPC's went better then expected
Combat was not horrible--with a lead off fireball & some decent strikers we are able to push through most combats in 15 minutes or so.
There were a few crits--here is DM Adam's Earth Elemental crit on Jack
Victoria scored her first ever crit
Doc got one with his mace--for ST CUTHBERT!
We are having a map drawing contest. Here is my map
here is Brian's
DM Adam liked mine better!
